Mi Mate Music – Giving Sound to Silent Struggles

Mi Mate Music is a purpose-driven creative project transforming lived experiences into powerful, emotionally charged tracks. Founded by Dennis Weston, this initiative supports individuals—particularly war veterans living with invisible injuries such as PTSD and other mental health conditions—in expressing what too often goes unsaid.

Through music, we help broken people tell their stories in ways that are honest, raw, and empowering. These tracks are more than just songs—they are lived moments, captured in sound.

Our mission is twofold: to support healing through creative expression, and to foster greater understanding of the silent battles many veterans and others endure daily. Every lyric and every beat is crafted to inspire empathy, connection, and insight into the challenges of mental health injuries.

Whether you're navigating your own journey or seeking to understand someone else's, Mi Mate Music offers a soundtrack grounded in truth, resilience, and hope.

Your support helps us continue turning real stories into music that matters.

Hey everyone, Ayinar (A-in-R) here - I am a 32-year-old rapper from Oklahoma who has always enjoyed telling a story in my creative way. I have been writing for 10+ years, and my style always changes. I want to show others struggling that they can use creative works as a way out of the darkness. Being connected to music differently has always been a part of me, and is what has me always evolving my craft. What I want to do is show other creatives and non-creatives how to truly look within through creativity. I do this by showing a new and different way to express creativity in a less negative mindset. I want to show people they do not need to live in the state of mind that music often puts them in. As always, keep growing and evolving.
